A Nellis-area park will show off its new upgrades Saturday at a grand reopening party.

New playground equipment and an improved and much larger water play area are among the amenities added to the Alexander Villas Park, 3620 Lincoln Road, where a celebration will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The park is near the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard North and Lamb Boulevard.

There will be face painting, balloon artists, bounce houses and food at the free event. Representatives from the Clark County Commission District D Office, which oversees this area, will also be at the event.

The City of Las Vegas approved a $55,000 contract Wednesday with the non-profit  “Outside Las Vegas” to help maintain miles of trails.

The group will be in charge of an army of volunteers that will maintain 60 miles of trails built by the city. One of the newest trails is the Doug Selby Trailhead near Sandhill Road and Washington Avenue. It was finished on June 17.

The project will start with the selection of a volunteer coordinator to put together a detailed plan on how to get the community involved with the project.

"We have hundreds of miles of trails for walking, for biking, for equestrian purposes, just phenomenal amenities and we need people to realize that they're there and we need to make it easier for people to find out that they're there," said Mauricia Baca, Executive Director of Outside Las Vegas.
